Broken


Dear stranger,

You know who you are

Yes you, the one who broke me

Do not fear for I will not say your name

Actually I am still afraid

I am afraid you will appear if you hear what I say

The bruising on my body has faded away

But the bruise on my heart will forever remain

You broke me and for that I thank you

You are the reason why I am strong

I overcame my fear of being hurt

Now I have found someone different

But because you broke me

They now know the new me

I am no longer weak

But I am reserved

I am not the bubbly girl I used to be

All of this thanks to you
